In 2020, Mike Webster & Christian Rutz published STRANGE, a framework to avoid sampling bias in animal behaviour research https://t.co/AuewhJtxqm. How far have we come since then? Submit your research for the #ASABWinter2024 on addressing biases:

What a great conference! Lots of food for thought around how to define and scientifically (and ethically) study non-human animal responses to death and grief. Thank you @EvoThan, can't wait for the next one! And thank you @GBSasakawa for enabling me to be there in person.
The First Edition of the International Symposium on Comparative Evolutionary Thanatology has wrapped, hopefully more to come in the near future! Highlights below🧵

📢Researchers interviewed staff at animal welfare NGOs to explore risks associated with both direct implementation and advocacy-based programming. Findings suggest that a hybrid organisational structure is preferable for effective equid programmes. ➡️ https://t.co/MgcNaMc64O

My first Conversation article! A very enjoyable experience writing this with Lucy Bates. A fascinating topic - do elephants intentionally bury their dead? I think the jury is still out🐘
